[BoulderCouncilHotline] Re: Letter to City Council from the Long Family and Growing Gardens

[Carr, Thomas]

Cyndy,

A conservation easement is a legal tool that may not be appropriate to reach council’s goals for the Long’s Gardens property.  My recommendation is that council discuss this at the retreat and perhaps schedule a study session thereafter to give staff direction regarding potential solutions.

Dear all,

I’m fully in support of a conservation easement with Longs Gardens and hope we put this delayed action in motion and agree to their request below:



“ We feel the CE process would be best served with an elevated and strategic discussion between the City and the Long family, including key staff/departments mentioned above [in their letter], before involving the City Attorney to get all the details in order for finalization. This would create a collaborative and clear roadmap for all parties involved and would be instrumental for our shared progress.”


If the city council would like a representative in such a working group, I’m happy to volunteer.
